The Cross Country Tropy, 1974, rediscovered by Phil Stockton
Delving into the attic I rediscovered this relic from 1974, Phil Stockton
What I remember from those days by Phil Stockton -
What I remember from those days by Phil Stockton -
I remember too much! Those cross country runs would never be allowed these days - 100 kids through Underhill - across Langland corner - down to Rotherslade over to the golf course then up Mary Twill through Newton and down through the park - with never a worry about the Green Cross Code!
Wet kit stuffed in lockers and fermenting for a couple of weeks; the ritual of 'The Rack' behind the gym to welcome the new kids to the school; chucking iron fillings up the chimney in metalwork and turning the blowtorch on and melting lead for fishing weights; getting rainbow sherbert from Shute's and pasties from Eynon's; getting conkers from the tree by the old surgery and selling them for 2p each; climbing into the bins behind the school to retrieve dozens of confiscated water-pistols; mince in gravy and mash at school dinners -
not to mention Minnie Morgan, the Edneys, Mr Bailey, Mr Aston - And Mr Thomas - who once went bonkers when he heard a kid actually call him 'Noddy'...
